    The translation of an A7 concertina-folded paper Charbonnel et Walker ‘The Truffle Collection’ menu. See scans below: I investigated the target audience for these truffles: the flagship store is in The Royal Arcade, Bond Street, and a single truffle from the counter in a box is £3.50. They hold a Royal Warrant and the store…

  • XY: Gestaltism

    Working collaboratively in an octet of MAGCD students to create a publication exploring the eight principles of Gestaltism in a day. I focused on “Proximity” and took photographs on my phone in and around the CSM campus. Each person was also assigned to a colour for printing – mine was light blue.

  • Methods of Iterating: Written Response

    DRAFT 1 The enquiry I set out to explore was that of the extent to which p5.js can be used to visually model plant growth (which is at least triply iterative: each step of growth is an iteration, each system used to model a structure is an iteration, and each unique piece of code is…

  • Methods of Investigating: Written Response

    My initial method of investigating the bouldering gym, EustonWall, took the form of observational poetic prose: trying to approach the space with as much of a clean-slate state of mind as I could muster (despite a priori familiarity with it). I have, in verse form, emulated Perec’s process of ‘Practical exercises’ in ‘Observ[ing] the [bouldering…

  • Methods of investigating: EustonWall

    INITIAL INVESTIGATIONS Poetic impression of the scene I behold ‘bouldering’: Sprawls of block colours bolted to solid white; They are like thrown confetti, yet too ordered to be an accident. The walls are punctured by holes, and the holds punctuate the holes. The routes are constellations of some sort of polymer solid, Some formed like…
